Never Stop Tank – The House of Cartier invites us to (re)discover the rich history of the Tank watch, on the occasion of the release of a new model: The Tank Anglaise.
The Tank Anglaise is the purest expression of the Tank. With a concentrated form and bold lines, its fortified design offers generous proportions. Cartier combines this refined volume with signature Tank features: a strap seamlessly integrated into the case, Roman numerals, a chemin-de-fer chapter ring, and blued-steel sword-shaped hands. The signature parallel brancards now incorporate the winding crown, perfectly streamlined into the silhouette.
This watch marks a milestone in Cartier’s pursuit of minimalist elegance. The winding mechanism, subtly integrated into the brancard, reflects Louis Cartier’s vision of pure, streamlined design. The form is coherent and intelligible as a whole—but when tilted, it reveals the winding mechanism, offering a discreet nod to the tank tread inspiration behind its name.
The Tank Anglaise is available in three sizes for both men and women, and in three gold color options. The large models are powered by the Manufacture MC 1904 movement, visible through the open case back.
